Yes, IMO, it does have the looks, powerful and noisy engine. However, to get to the competitive power output, they use engines with 30-40% higher volume, hence horrible mpg. The interior lags years behind the european and japanese. THe design becomes old quickly. The car becomes loose, rattling (although my e90 is a rattle box) and squeeking too quickly. The resale value is a joke.
The true value of the vehicle is about 70% of what they are asking, IMO...

The Z06 doesn't get the gas guzzler tax here in California, but the M3 E92 does.
Z06: 26MPG Highway
M3: 20MPG Highway (more like 16-17).
In fact the Z06 just won a MPG Marathon in the UK recently:

So what was that you were saying about horrible MPG???
